Chapter 183: Chapter 183

"Landon and I are here to celebrate Sienna’s birthday, after all, it’s her first birthday since returning. How could we, as friends, not be present?"

"Miss Vance is really kind, treating our Sienna so well, she’ll definitely be very happy."

Amanda and Vera were chatting and laughing, yet Landon seemed somewhat impatient. What Vera said was nothing out of the ordinary, but this time Landon found it somewhat uncomfortable. Even though it was something they often did, why did it feel intentional this time?

Landon looked at the woman beside him, seemingly needing to find time to have a good talk with her; it wasn’t just her who was being delayed.

"President Lawson, we shouldn’t stand outside any longer, let’s go inside and talk." With that, she led Landon inside.

Axel, holding a wine glass, was chatting with clients when he heard a commotion. He turned his head to look at the two people entering, slightly raising his eyebrows.

Apparently, he hadn’t expected Landon to bring Vera along.

The matters among the three of them aren’t unknown to those present, but today, a special day, what kind of commotion would it cause?

Axel was somewhat worried, wondering if it would cause trouble for Sienna.

"President Lawson!" Axel proactively stepped forward, his gaze falling on Vera holding Landon’s arm, his lips slightly curved: "President Lawson and Actress Vance seem to have a great relationship, no matter the occasion, she’s the only one by your side."

"Why did President Yates come today?"

"Since it’s our Sienna’s birthday party, how could I not come?" Axel said with a smile, his eyes assessing the two.

Again with ’our Sienna’... clearly she should be his!

Landon looked at Axel standing before him, narrowing his eyes. For some reason, Axel’s smiling face made him quite displeased.

This Axel obviously already knew about their relationship, yet he kept talking this way. Did he really have other feelings for Sienna?

"I think President Lawson and Miss Vance should have good news soon?"

Landon’s narrowed eyes showed a hint of mockery, "Could it be that President Yates is eagerly anticipating my marriage?"

"After all, such joyous events, the more the merrier." Axel chuckled lightly, but Landon’s expression was somewhat peculiar, frowning, unclear why Landon would look at him like that.

Landon gently shook his head, leaned forward, and softly said in a tone that only two people could hear: "Seems I can’t let President Yates be happy."

Axel was momentarily stunned, looking at him in confusion.

The smile at the man’s lips grew larger, filled with an unreadable meaning: "Because I’m currently married." Landon finished speaking, patting Axel’s shoulder gently, and slipped past him.

Vera smiled and nodded at Axel, then followed after him.

Axel watched their departing backs, his lips slightly curling. Landon actually secretly married Vera. Apparently, there was no intention to reveal their relationship to the public yet.

Upon knowing this news, Axel surprisingly felt happy, for this meant he and Sienna had no chance anymore.

However, Landon did not realize that his words had already led Axel to misunderstand, thinking he had made it clear.

Vera followed beside Landon, murmuring softly: "Landon, it seems Axel and Sienna have a really good relationship."

Landon’s body shuddered, remaining silent. In truth, he felt that their relationship was indeed a bit too close, making him rather uncomfortable.

Miles approached the two, holding a wine glass and said to them: "You two are really quick."

"Where did you just go?" Landon asked, looking at Miles who shrugged helplessly and said: "You’re saying I’m quick? You two were surrounded by journalists, no one paid attention to me, the bystander, plus I can’t handle that kind of scene."

Regarding Miles, Landon considered himself quite understanding. He appeared carefree but showed little interest in such occasions, otherwise, the eldest son of the Grant Family wouldn’t have left the family business unclaimed and chosen to become a doctor.

Yet, Landon felt a bit envious of someone like Miles, at least he could pursue what he loves.

The music at the birthday party suddenly shifted, all the lights darkened, a beam of light illuminated the woman walking down the stairs. Her fair skin seemed to be coated with a layer of light, her delicate face adorned with subtle makeup, making her originally stunning face even more dazzling.

The dress she wore refracted light; at this moment, Sienna was like the brightest star in the night, her slender, white hand holding the little boy beside her.

The chubby, fair Evan, today had uncharacteristically combed his thick bangs up, his delicate face devoid of expression, his pursed lips looking very cute.

Sienna turned her head to look at the boy beside her, her lips slowly curling, speaking silently, "So handsome!"

"I have to be as beautiful as a flower, after all." Evan said seriously.

Sienna was a bit helpless, it seemed this phrase was difficult to erase from his vocabulary.

However, Evan today was indeed very handsome, his already delicate face was now fully revealed, his tall nose bridge, clear eyes shared the same distant coldness as Landon.

Before, to prevent others from discovering Evan’s resemblance to Landon, recognizing him as Landon’s son, he had specially styled with heavy bangs to cover his face. But now that everyone knew his identity, there was no need to hide anymore.

Evan gently brushed his hair back, his lips curling into an attractive smile.

The two of them had long become the focus of everyone’s attention.

Even those present merely to conduct business with the Quinn Family stared blankly at Sienna. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel{f}ire.net

"Is that Sienna? The daughter of the former President Quinn?"

"She’s... she’s incredibly beautiful."

"Plus, I’ve heard she’s now the main project leader for the Yates Group, and Axel tremendously trusts her."

Everyone turned to the person speaking next to them, none other than Axel.

Axel smiled warmly at Sienna, his eyes filled with admiration, and emotions he himself couldn’t comprehend. These people naturally recognized Axel.

If Axel spoke so highly, then how could Sienna be anything less?

Vera stood dazed, looking at Sienna descending from above, her high, confident chest radiating an unparalleled self-assured aura, a quality previously unseen in Sienna.

Why does she now emanate an aura of discomfort?

The man beside her hadn’t uttered a word the entire time; Vera glanced at Landon, discovering that he was looking at Sienna with gentle eyes.
